In a totally unsolicitated, but shameless plug, one of the Cre8asite Forums members who regularly posts about design within the forums, and selflessly provides some of his thoughts on other people’s designs is holding a one day seminar on design, titled Web Design from Scratch LIVE.

The seminar is on 07 November 2005 in Chesterfield, England, and the price for the single day event sounds like a bargain at £ 295. It is intended for:

Designers

Developers

Managers

Site owners

And others who work on the web.

If you are an internet marketer or SEO, this may be an opportunity for you to brush up on some of your design and usability skills as well.

The focus of the presentations during the day-long event include:

A close look at user-centred design processes

Insight into web site planning, layout and design

Other topics covering information architecture, copywriting and graphic design.

Attendees also receive a free pre-publication copy of “Web Design from Scratch – the Book”! (I want one of these.)

To get a taste of what you will get out of the seminar if you attend, and a great place to spend some time even if you can’t, is the excellent set of tutorials from Scratch describing How to design web pages that work

Chances are good that if you attend, regardless of your level of expertise in design, that you will come away from the seminar with some insights that can help you in your everyday business.
